Graphic organizers may seem like they belong in composition, but they are useful to help students process new concepts and vocabulary in a different way. The students worked together to locate definitions for our Math Connects Chapter 3 vocabulary and create examples. This gave students working definitions, but also challenged their understanding of the topic by asking for examples; one group debated the example for "regrouping" and whether it should be an addition (chapter 2) or subtraction (chapter 3) problem. The student compromising by including one of each, further reinforcing their understanding of previous and current material.
